actually its the bottom of the boat i think it might be called the hull? anyways its below the floor its fiberglass and it likes to hold little pockets of water. The fiberglass is rippled in spots and prevents a little bit of water from draining or reaching the drain my question is how do I fix this?

Re: floor issues

tilt the bow up. the little bit left will evaporate. if water stay puddled at the transom drain, you can put a wick thru the drain. just 1" wide x 12" long piece of T shirt, wet it, push about 4 to 5 " thru the drain hole, and let the rest hang below the bottom of the boat. in no time all the water will drip out the wick.

Re: floor issues

Good tip on the wick tashasdaddy! With the design on the boat I use most the battery is in the way and I can never get all the water out without pulling the battery. My floor is not long for this world and I like to try and keep things dry as possible, now I can just stuff a wick through the transom with a screw driver, problem solved!
